AWARD CATEGORIES
Green Champion
At Auditel we believe that recognising and rewarding green initiatives inspires others to innovate, collaborate, and place environmental responsibility at the heart of their operations. BHBPA’s membership includes many forward-thinking companies and the Green Champion award shines a spotlight on those leading the way towards a cleaner, greener future.
Team of Stars
Every day at Burgess Hill Town FC we see how collaboration and determination lead to success on the pitch, and it’s inspiring to see those same qualities reflected in the business community. We look forward to crowning this year’s Team of Stars.
Excellence in Leadership
I’m Brandon Harris, from Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and I have seen first-hand the profound impact leadership teams can have. Strong, aligned leadership inspires confidence, creates clarity, and enables people and businesses to thrive.
Leadership has the power to shape not only organisations, but the careers and lives of the people within them.
Charity & Community Champion
As sponsors of the Charity & Community Champion Award, LB Enclosures are delighted to celebrate the individuals, teams and organisations that dedicate their time, energy and resources to making a difference in their communities. Whether through fundraising, volunteering, mentoring or charitable support, these efforts strengthen communities and create meaningful opportunities for others.
Best Business
At Mayo Wynne Baxter we are privileged to be championing organisations that drive growth, creativity, and positive impact in the region. It’s an opportunity to come together, share successes, and applaud the incredible work being done by businesses of all sizes.
Micro Business Star
Micro businesses play a vital role in shaping the strength and character of our local economy, making up almost 90% of our business landscape. Micro businesses are often innovative, quick to adapt, and deeply rooted in their communities.
The Council celebrates the drive and creativity that small enterprises bring to Mid Sussex every day. We recognise that micro businesses not only create local jobs but also enrich the fabric of our district.
Winning Workplace
At Thomas Mansfield Employment Law we celebrate The Winning Workplace award, shining a light on employers who take their responsibility seriously – those who communicate openly, encourage ideas, view mistakes as part of progress and foster an atmosphere of mutual respect. These qualities aren’t soft measures; they’re markers of a business that understands the link between culture and commercial success.
Bright Star
The Bright Star Award is about recognising those individuals. The ones who consistently show up, get the job done properly, and support the people around them without making a fuss. Sometimes it is only with hindsight that a business realises just how important that person is. They are the colleague who prompts that familiar comment, “Thank goodness we have them. I do not know what we would do without them.” At Travail Employment Group we understand this implicitly.
Shooting Star
UK Growth Coach celebrates growth with the Shooting Star award. In challenging economic times, businesses that take decisive action to pursue their ambitions and drive progress deserve to be acknowledged. These companies are not only growing but are increasingly supporting their communities, demonstrating resilience, innovation, and leadership.
Ethical Business Star
Galloways Accounting is delighted to sponsor the Ethical Business Star award, it celebrates the principles that sit with a responsible, modern business committed to fairness, transparency and accountability, reflecting the standards we should all champion in our work. By supporting this award, we are proud to shine a light on organisations that lead by example and prove that doing the right thing is possible and transformative for all.
Future Talent & Skills Champion
At Burgess Hill Girls, we believe that developing future talent is one of the most important investments any community can make. The Future Talent & Skills Champion Award celebrates organisations and individuals who are helping to inspire, develop and equip young people with the skills, confidence and opportunities they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Education does not just happen in schools. When businesses and educators work together, we create pathways that help young people realise their potential and prepare them for successful futures.
